1968 Ford Mustang GT R code 428 Cobra Jet, 4 speed, in Highland Green from Tasca Ford. It's been Concours restored and it was just finished. We interview the restorer, Nick Masters, at the Fabulous Fords Forever Show 2014 held at Knott's Berry Farm on April 27th, 2014. Mustang Connection
Mustang Pros
Nick Masters here, just wanted to say thanks to all for the kind words. This was one of my favorite restorations, it was very challenging but it turned out stunning. We should do another video because theres so much more detail that we didn’t talk about.
I’d like to thank the people that gave their expertise to this project:
Emo Torres for the flawless bodywork. Wayne Golden for the amazing paint job.
Dean Wilke for the drivetrain.
And to the owner Luis for his determination to do the restoration properly. We’ll cya at the next Fabulous Fords show, April 14th 2019!
Nick, Are you bringing one of the Dr.'s cars out to the show ? Last time I was there he was finishing up a 65 K code fastback I believe ?
MustangConnection1 The 66 fastback has been finished for a year now. We might bring that one, otherwise I’ll bring another 66 GT fastback that’s unrestored. It’s one of my side projects.
@@socomu Sounds good are you still working with Lou? Are you working on the 1970 SCJ Torino Cobra he bought from us ?
Yep, still working with Lou. The Torino is being painted in San Diego right now. Our current project is a 1970 Boss 302 Cougar Eliminator. The project is about 90% complete.

4 years and no dislikes for the video shows the love for the car.
Yes , hard to troll this one!
No words could do this beauty any justice!
I agree, it's a stunner, thanks for commenting and sharing.
Best Mustang ever made..I've owned a '70 for 35 years but would ditch in in a second for chance at one of those
Now THAT is a killer Mustang.
Yes IT is!
Wow amazing restoration. Early fastbacks are amongst the greatest Mustangs, specially with the 428 CJ! I always associated these cars with black interiors, don't know why, but since today probably i changed my mind... White it's spectacular! Great car!
Damn ! That car is CORE-AZZY . Should be worth in the millions .
AMAZING COBRA JET
+Jorge Aguiar It really is a dream Cobra Jet
Well, accept for the fact that you can’t drive it.
Saw the Lebanon Valley Dragway 1/4 mile slip of 13.43 @ 108.5 mph. Pretty damn good 1/4 mile time for 1968. My stock 99 Cobra ran a best of 13.5 @ 105 mph.
Yes impressive for an old school car like this.
13.43 100% stock?
Enjoyed that. "Venom", "Back off" >_< And the documentation, wow.
I know how cool right? Did you see the 1/4 mile time slips from way back in the day? 13.54 for a stock car, cool. Thanks Danielsan
such an awesome car
The owner has an awesome collection th-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=WN9SjG7CVqc
Very nice example of the genre.
Thanks for watching George! Have a great weekend.
Okay, I'm officially in love..... ♥__♥
I want it so bad....
This Mustang is easy to fall in love with ;) Thanks for watching and hope you check out our other videos and subscribe!
Yes, please.
same color interior on my 66 GT, nice
Great color bet your '66 looks nice.
sadly gone , but it did. I learned the trick to keeping these and most carbed engines alive though, change the oil every 1500 miles if you drive it hard as the cylinders are always getting oil washed off by fuel on at least some of the cylinders, mine ran easily to 150 k miles with near daily high speed running and ran great till I sold it and the next owner said it still flew. sold it in 74 and met by chance the next owner last year and he still misses it also . mine was a 3 speed 4 bbl and a great package for back roads with th e over sized e 60 14 tires I somehow fit on it . a 3 .00 gear and 2 nd was good for 70 and 3rd maybe 120. with a steady 1500 rpm in 3rd got 25 MPG at 40 miles an hour . paid 1100 for it at a ford dealer in 71 with 66 k miles. .
that Tasca badge......only dealer badge I would have on my classic
That Tasca emblem , ironically, was never originally installed on that car, nor were there mounting holes
This guy out of Texas had one like that. Firebird/TA guy too, he has a lot of vids online. Dark Green '68 GT fastback. Not many seen.
John, Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you are well. Not sure if you have seen the rest of this guy's collection. Here it is....th-cam.com/video/WN9SjG7CVqc/w-d-xo.html
This was my grandfather's...
+M4A1 FA Very nice car a perfect example.
@@MustangConnection1 I wanted to reiterate, this WAS my grandfather's car. It was sold by one of his son's without my grandfather's knowing. We have some of the original photos and paperwork from that binder in the trunk
New old stock (NOS) equals $$$$
That's for sure!
68 1/2 wtf that doesn’t exist
The Cobra Jet wasn't introduced until the later half of '68 hence 68 CJ cars are a mid model release. It is just a use of nomenclature to describe these cars, clearly there are no half model years technically for any vehicle, just like their aren't 64.5 Mustangs.
@@MustangConnection1 The public release date, if I recall, was April 1st-April Fools Day!
